Hi Trailers!
This Saturday we are running Table Mountain Front Face.
Rendezvous and start time
Meet at 7:00 am at Kloof Nek top parking above MyCiti parking.
How to get there?
Drive up Kloof Nek Rd to the top and follow the signs to the Cable Station. After turning left onto Tafelberg Rd you will see a parking area on your left, it has two levels, turn left into the upper level.
Terrain and distance
Singletrack, technical, 'undulating'. 10-14 km's depending on whether you turn around at Platties (7km return) or go to Oppelskop and return. 2h30ish. Not for those afraid of heights.
Route
A straightforward out and back run along the scenic trail across the North Face of Table Mountain to Oppelskop and return.
Groups
This is a pack run with regular regroups, we will split into speed groups with leaders and sweeps on the morning.
Dogs
Sorry no dogs!
What to bring
Water, whistle, warm/windproof top, rain jacket - weather dependent, space blanket, ICE ID - either on your phone, bracelet/tag, card in your backpack.
Will post a weather update on Friday. Please make sure that you are carrying the right equipment, enough food and water.
Relaxed group: Will do a shorter version of main route.
Carry plenty of water and energy snacks.
You are running voluntarily and entirely at your own risk.
See you there!
